Rules for a Knight

De: Ethan Hawke

Narrado por: Alessandro Nivola

A four-time Academy Award nominee, twice for writing and twice for acting, Ethan Hawke has starred in the films Dead Poets Society, Reality Bites, Gattaca, and Training Day as well as Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise trilogy and Boyhood. He is the author of the novels The Hottest State and Ash Wednesday.

'Never announce you are a Knight, simply behave as one. You are better than no one, and no one is better than you'.

When Sir Thomas Lemuel Hawke was a boy, his grandfather taught him how to be a knight. Now, on the eve of a battle from which he fears he may not return, Sir Thomas writes a letter to his children, so that he may pass on all his hard-won lessons, deepest aspirations and most instructive failures.

Full of adventure and wit, the letter provides a guide for living a good and noble life - a reminder that without a little agony none of us would bother to learn a thing; that we must work together as brothers or perish together as fools; that a friend loves you because you are true to yourself, not because you agree with him. And, most importantly, it shows that there is no obstacle that enough love cannot move.

Timeless piece

Timeless truths that every father should read to his children. It was like listening to grandfathers stories. Very uplifting.
